KRAMER: Twitter? Come on man, how are you still on the bird site? I keep telling you Jerry, you have GOT to join Mastodon!
JERRY: Eh. Mastodon? Who's on Mastodon?
KRAMER: Oh, people, Jerry! People who-
JERRY: Well, there's the problem. People.
GEORGE: I want a social network with NO PEOPLE!
ELAINE: You mean like BlueSky?
GEORGE: Eh. There are still too many people on that.
JERRY: That's where they made their big mistake. They actually sent out invite codes.
GEORGE: I'm launching my OWN network.
JERRY: Disgracebook?
ELAINE: Bitter?
GEORGE: No! COSTANZAGRAM! You have NO FRIENDS, you see NOTHING and you do NOTHING, you only have ONE reaction, and it's DISLIKE!
JERRY: A social NOT-work!
ELAINE: So how do you join?
GEORGE: NOBODY JOINS! EVERYBODY IS ALREADY THERE! Just, no one can ever leave.
JERRY: An inescapable loop of boredom and despair. How will you market it?
GEORGE: 'Finally an online experience just like real life'

Laura Amalasunta (lauraamalasunta@strangeobject.space)'s status on Friday, 23-Jun-2023 03:23:40 JST Laura Amalasunta Wow being an activist is really easy when you're trans. Just exist and refuse to be a doormat, refuse to smile and tug your forelock while you're misgendred, called a rapist and paedophile who should be excluded from public existence and you're an activist with a radical agenda.
'Stop being so political'
YOU'RE THE ONES POLITICISING OUR MERE EXISTENCE

Laura Amalasunta (lauraamalasunta@strangeobject.space)'s status on Sunday, 18-Jun-2023 20:44:22 JST Laura Amalasunta The EU has launched its largest ever survey into the experiences of LGBTIQ people in the EU countries plus Albania, Serbia and North Macedonia. Do take part if you're eligible, and share around so they get some good data! At the end there's also room to add anything extra you'd like. In general it's a good survey and I'm proud of a good friend of mine who's been working on it:
https://lgbtiqsurvey.eu/lgbtiq/
*Note for trans people: the initial question is weird in that lists woman and trans woman as separate genders, but you can choose either, and the next question is on if you're trans or have a trans background (so I put woman for the first question, then yes).

Laura Amalasunta (lauraamalasunta@strangeobject.space)'s status on Wednesday, 17-May-2023 19:51:07 JST Laura Amalasunta @goatsarah Same with Italian and French; you'd use It. genere and Fr. genre for grammatical gender and sesso/sexe. In Italian 'trans', 'transgender' and 'transgenere' all exist, as does 'transsessuale', phrases like 'identità di genere'... but I don't think most of the population has much of an idea, unfortunately.

Laura Amalasunta (lauraamalasunta@strangeobject.space)'s status on Wednesday, 17-May-2023 19:33:23 JST Laura Amalasunta It's noticeable how the English word 'gender' has been loaned into other European languages, in no small part for use by right-wingers to describe anything that makes them comfortable: trans and gay people's existence, women's liberation, anything non-traditional.
On Meloni's initiative to stop Italians using English loan-words, someone (can't find it now) made the point that her own right wing ofc continues using 'gender' because they want to emphasise that such an outlandish concept could never possibly have an equivalent in Italian.

Laura Amalasunta (lauraamalasunta@strangeobject.space)'s status on Thursday, 02-Mar-2023 06:24:21 JST Laura Amalasunta Hot take: Papers like the Guardian and the NYT publish transphobia not because they want to appeal to conservative readers outside their usual readership, but precisely because their main readership consists of middle-class white liberals who have grown up with prejudices, overcome some of them (or tried to), but love nothing more than to be comforted by being told some of those prejudices were actually right
